Aorta Thoracic Elongated

Elongation of the thoracic aorta is a rare cardiovascular abnormality that can lead to serious complications, including heart failure and stroke. An elongated thoracic aorta is observed in 9–20% of patients with aortic sinus anomalies, and an abnormally located thoracic aorta occurs in 5–



Elongation of the thoracic aorta (cardioplegia, aneurysmal dilatation of the thoracic aorta) can be caused by various factors, such as congenital maldevelopment of the aorta, influence (positive), trauma and inflammatory diseases. In this article, we will look at congenital factors that can lead to the development of an elongated thoracic aorta. Like any person, you have a number of arteries in your body. Your cardiovascular skeleton includes the arteries, veins and lymphatic vessels that transport oxygen from your heart to the rest of the body, and various fluids to different parts of your anatomy. One of the arteries you want to look at today is the aorta, the largest artery in your cardiovascular skeleton.
